Met with a manager last night and confirms he wants to stay in the Midlands. Sons in academies at Derby and Wolves. For those that missed it!

Radio caller: "I personally think we should have kept Beckford. He had a really great game against us in December and only scored 8 goals all season because Bolton are rubbish".

 

Jason Bourne: But Jermaine, we've just got promotion? We didn't need him after all, surely?

 

Radio caller: "Well I don't actually go to the games as I can't afford it now. I rely on the commentary from Ian and Alan. But everytime i've seen Beckford on the tele he's done really well. I don't think Vardy has been good enough.

 

Jason Bourne: "But Vardy has scored twice as..... 

 

Stringer: "SORRY to interrupt you chaps, I'm here in the bowels of the King Power Stadium and the match winner, Kevin Phillips, has just walked in..

 

"He's got his black boot bag in swinging around in his left hand and he's enjoying a glucose energy bar from his right.

 

"What is it Kevin? Yoghurt? Chocolate? Fruit? Vanilla????"

 

Kevin Phillips: "It's just a Kit Kat mate".

 

Stringer: "Oh and look, the perennial jokers David Nugent and Paul Gallagher have just walked in.

 

"Both have their finely tuned abs out with their shirts swinging around in the air in celebration. Mmmm. 

 

"So, Kevin, you've been with the club now since January. How have you found your time working with Nigel Pearson?".

 

Kevin Phillips: "It's been really great. We've managed to do what we set out to do so, yeah, it's great.

 

Stringer: Excellent. So will you be hanging up the boots now?

 

Kevin Phillips: Nooo. i'll hang around till January and then sign for the next team in a shout of promotion.

 

Stringer: Well thankyou. You were the man of the match, awarded by Alan Young, our expert summariser here on BBC Radio Leicester. Congratulations, go and enjoy your success with the team.

 

Stringer: My phone is flooding with tweets so i'll read some of those out.

 

"from lestafan2001: Eieieio up the football league we go.

 

"from my wife: Come home now, we need to talk.

 

"from Kevin Phillips: Buzzing with promotion, but just had the weirdest interview ever. *Stringer lets out a long, high pitched laugh*

 

"and finally, from Gary Lineker "Good to see the blues back in the big time".

 

Jason Bourne: Well thats all we have time for on BBC Radio Leicester as the Foxes earn promotion to the big time....

 

*starts playing commentary from the last minute goal*

 

Young: It's a blummin great big Pelican ..
 
Stringer - A seagull has landed right in front of us, and it is chasing a packet of crisps ... that is comical Al, just comical
(in the background, a massive roar of the crowd, no mention of what's happening)
 
Young: A seagull, yes he's got his head stuck in the packet ...
 
Stringer: absolutely unbelievable .. a seagull
(Crowd roars)
 
Stringer: "Here comes Drinkwater now, he's slipped in Taylor- Fletcher...Across for Kevin Phillips...
ITS THEREEEEEEEEEE"

 

 

 

Best post of the year....... So far :P

I know the thought of him joining generates mixed feelings amongst us but, and I say it again, I think KP will be an excellent acquisition.

I do as well, especially in a coaching role, would really help players like Vardy. He will be a great player to bring on towards the end of a game if we require a goal.

He was in Morrisons I was right behind him at the till.

He bought a 40" Philips TV, philips screwdriver and a philips lady shave. Interestingly he went back in to buy some Daz white trainers and got them wrapped at the florist.

i asked him if he was signing for Leicester but he didnt hear and walked off putting Kingpower into his sat nav.

Sorry guys i was hoping to get some concrete evidence but it looks like we`re still none the wiser....

Would be really happy if he comes to us.

 

How many times do we put the ball in the 6 yard box and there's no one there poaching?  If this works out I think this could be the final piece of the puzzle.

Could see this. Vardy and Phillips starting? Vardy doing most the dirty work and feeding it to Phillips? Could be a great partnership!

I think Phillips would be laughing and I'd be confident there's at least 5 goals in him by the end of the season.  It'd be refreshing more than anything to have a striker that attacks the ball and is a  'right time right place' kind of player in games where we're creating 20-30 efforts in a game and getting only 4 or 5 on target.

Im not sure he'd be signed as a 'starter', but what a player to bring on if you need a goal ( or gain a last minute penalty to take you to Wembley :-/)

That's what I'd imagine. Last 20 minutes wih Phillips/Vardy could be lethal. Even better with Dyer running the wing, could leave a lot of chances for Phillips.

 please god no a Philips and Vardy partnership.

 

Can't imagine Phillips has the legs to start - but why not for the last 20-30 minutes if we're not winning?  How many chances does Vardy create from his hard work and there's no one within 20 yards of a cross or pass.  Can't see how we wouldn't benefit from a poacher.

If we sign him then what was the point of signing GTF, I assume they'd have very similar roles. Seems illogical to me.

If I remember rightly by GTF's own admission recently he's not primarily a goalscorer.

 

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Essential GTF creates chances, Phillips scores them.

This. They are two different types of player
